The Beaumont ISD school board voted Thursday night to conduct the next trustee election in May 2015, the next regularly scheduled one, but it delayed the adoption of a new election map that would satisfy a court order until the board could further examine how the maps were drawn.

The Thursday night school board meeting got off to a late and rocky start when trustee Mike Neil got into a verbal altercation outside the administration building with a BISD teacher and her husband.

Paula Herrington, a BISD teacher, and her husband Jimmy Herrington approached Neil outside the administration building before the meeting began Thursday and showed him a flier on which his face appeared.

The flier stated Neil did not act "as a school trustee" and that his actions were "surely not for children to emulate." It went on to say Neil had violated Texas law by making an obscene gesture to Jimmy Herrington at a previous school board meeting.

The flier also showed screen captures of Neil making an indeterminate gesture at that meeting, and of the incident in which BISD spokeswoman Jessie Haynes and Neil got into a physical altercation after an August board meeting.
